6. Listen! For noble things I will speak, and upright things from the opening of my lips.
7. My mouth will utter truth, and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8. All sayings of my mouth are in righteousness; none of them are twisted and crooked.
9. All of them are straight to him who understands, and upright to those who find knowledge.
10. Take my teaching and not silver; may you choose knowledge rather than choice gold.
11. For wisdom is better than jewels, and all desires shall not compare with her.
12. I, wisdom, live with prudence, and I find knowledge and discretion.
